Industrial Interiors How to…..
Guilherme Torres
Industrial Interior Design really started as a way of integrating the surroundings of mostly loft spaces that were previously used as, well Industrial premises.
Making this style work, now means adding a budget to the decor we use, to reflect the times.
So what Elements make up Industrial interiors
1. Unfinished walls
2. Steel furniture softened with Upholstery
3.Ceiling beams and Pillars add the apartment feel which was the start of this look.
4. Consider UP cycling old metal or wooden items to create tables or storage.
5.Depending on the feel you are trying to achieve you will need to consider Timber, stone or cork for a heavier Industrial feel.
With all these things in mind you will also have to consider how drab the finishes of the hard items can look so an injection of colour through plants, cushions, artwork and rugs is a must.
Have I helped you feel a connection to your industrial side.
For me its adding rustic steel and timber to an already Eclectic room..and you can always cross your design themes….Modern Industrial is the most common but I get a feeling Hampton’s Industrial will be on its way also.
Oh goodness, I missed your store opening. How exciting for you and J&A. I need to spend more time online! Wrt industrial… it’s the next big thing I reckon. I like to think that my approach will be a ‘soft industrial’…Hampton’s Industrialised as you suggest! A-M xx
